The reality star's rep brushed off any notions that the proposal was staged, telling The Huffington Post that it was an editing issue and that the scenes where Kardashian is seen wearing the ring in her home were in fact shot after West proposed in San Francisco.

It's a very plausible explanation, as one would think the show's producers would be more cautious about any scene that contained the ring had the proposal actually been staged for TV. What's more, West is the least likely candidate to fake the proposal, since he has all but washed his hands of the show.

"When we got engaged ... I made sure the show was there [filming] because I felt like that's something that would make her happy," West told Hot 97 host Angie Martinez in November 2013. "Regardless of how it was shot, I felt like this is a moment she would like to have and would like to share, and just have that documented. And we could decide later or not if we wanted to air it."

UPDATE: A spokesman for Bunim/Murray Productions told the Huffington Post in a statement, "The footage of Kim folding baby clothes, while wearing her engagement ring, although filmed after the proposal, was a better fit for the first episode of the two-part engagement special because we wanted part two to focus on the surprise that was to come."
